there's a dreadful sentiment digging at her chest, with metaphorical claws, that is. she wasn't worried about the speed, about the car, not even about herself. she was worried for him. lips pursed into a thin line, huffing through her nose. an intention arises, to rest her hand on his arm, to reassure him other than with words that it's going to be okay, but she doesn't follow through. instead, she just stares at him with her doe eyed crystal gaze, feeling sorry that she can't actually help him. it takes a while before she exhales all the air that she was holding, as she was trying to find the appropriate words to tell him – spoiler alert, none seemed to be kenough.
" dolls make mistakes too. " she wasn't defending anyone, but it was true, " and they hurt too. from my own experience the crocodile tears were first real tears. we – you are allowed to feel emotions. and i can't provide the answers to all those questions. but i know that it's no fun what you're feeling. " her gaze flickers to the road, it seemed awfully quiet, probably because everyone else was attending the party. " where are we going? because i have an idea that might help. "
She steps in, and he's off in an instant, pressing the gas peddle to the floor. The faster they leave, the better he'll feel, as wind whips through their hair, almost drowning out the music and her inquiry. Hands grip the steering wheel, and he keeps his eyes on the road in front of them, tempted to pretend he didn't hear her - but she's perceptive, and he's a mess, it would be foolish to act like everything's okay.
He turns down the music enough so it doesn't shake the car anymore, but provides enough background noise so it isn't awkward.
"I don't know." He's being truthful, looking anywhere but at her reflection in the mirror, "I thought he loved me. Why the hell was he kissing someone else? Why was he kissing Barbie?"

what are your character's most prominent physical feature ; i refuse to write just 1 so here u go
eyes : she has cerulean eyes, a mesmerizing shade of blue reminiscent of a tranquil ocean on a cloudless day. they possess a clarity that hints at untold secrets kept only by the stationary waters of a pristine lake. flecks of azure and turquoise dancing within the irises, like ripples of light playing upon the water’s surface. but it’s not the color that makes them remarkable; it’s the soulful depth within them. they hold stories untold, emotions unspoken and dreams yet to be realized. when those ceruleans eyes meet another’s, it’s as if they could pierce through the facade and lay bare the very essence of one’s being, an invitation to share the profound beauty and the utter ugliness in the world.
ever heard of the saying eyes are the windows to one’s soul? that’s right, i’m using that cliche to describe barbie. why you may ask. well, you see, since barbie’s job is acting, she focuses on selling a message with her eyes. whether or not she’s sad or happy or thrilled or in agony, you name the emotion. it’s important to note that, since her eyes are in the brighter spectrum, pupil dilation becomes more prominent, which can easily showcase how she truly feels. at least for the stronger emotions, in which pupils dilate. to be more cliche, think about falling in love or being angry. you can spot the truth in the pupil dilation.
hair : she has blonde hair, its hue reminiscent of gilded silk. from the root to the tips, strands of sun-kissed blonde wove the memories of summer sunrises, where golden tendrils glistened like morning dew, with hints of platinum that reflect in the sunlight. the texture smooth as the finest silk, yet soft as a whispered promise. each strand cascading down her shoulders with a luxurious embrace. she wears it in loose waves that tumbles down with effortless grace or in a half up half down manner, adorned with a silk ribbon that weaves its way through her hair. but do not be fooled by this appearance, for it is artificial. her natural hair, a light chestnut brown in stark contrast to the golden silk she currently presents the world.
to be honest with you, my main source for the dyed hair and why it is important to me comes from batman the animated series. to quote harley quinn, you thought i was just another bubble-headed blond bimbo! well, the joke's on you, ‘cause i’m not even a real blonde. that, to me, screams barbie. also, marilyn monroe is a big inspiration to both barbie and i! hence why she’d want to look like marilyn by dying her hair blonde, basically walking into marilyn steps as she too dyed her hair, only that from red to blonde.
i want dash to know that, for some reason, i have finished christmas thematic drafts that i never actually posted for some reason i can't comprehend myself.... should i still post them? that is all & you shall receive memes from this barbie, so beware!
